It's only on my dedicated cruncher, just to try it out. Won't switch over on my main rig just yet. Probably not till it's out, so I only have to do it once you know. But so far I like it, just takes getting used to it.

If anything they like the 3.8 GHz area a lot. THat should be achieveable at like 1.350v or so.

4.0Ghz or over usually needs very good cooling (i.e. water) to run stable. You can run 3.6-3.8 with lower volts and have a little more fun with bumping up the NB... My 960T was that way and they are just unlocked Thubans with 2 cores shut off

Hm, maybe some additional bandwidth could come in handy between 6 wcg tasks, 2 quake servers, a vent server, my phone and anything else I decide to load up on it... the memory in there is only 1333 9-9-9-24 though (stock is 1333 7-7-7-20 at 1.65v, but I elected to run the looser timings so I could have 1.5v... less heat and less power draw, even if it is just a slight difference) so I dunno if it would help at all with such slow ram.
